Tether slow but busy sending packets

Do you have a lot of things running in the background on your BlackBerry or computer? It sounds like something you are running which is causing packets to be sent. This could even be a Mac Update running in the background.

Do you happen to be receiving SMS or Phone calls while you're using our service too? Sometimes that disrupts our service.

I'm going to chalk this one up to the time of day I was trying to do my thing. It's currently 7 PM eastern time and it's working fine. The other night, it was like there was a bottleneck on the data, but not on the packets. Now, both seem to be flowing fine.

BTW, I respectfully discount the notion that background processes could have been the culprit. In my experience, this is much more likely to be an issue on a Windows computer and not a Mac. My computer is also scheduled to perform updates once per week, and the other night was not the prescribed day for that service. Additionally, my phone was performing no other activities (outwardly) that should have interfered with Tether. That said, there's no telling what Verizon might have been trying to push that time of night/morning.

I do appreciate your reply and assistance...it's nice to have a forum for this type of thing.

We appreciate you coming back and letting us know your issue was resolved.
